DE10002675C2 - Pipe organ with sound box wind chest - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a pipe organ with a plurality of clay chambers showing wind chest, which essentially consists of the organ housing, the Pfei fenwerk, the wind shutter, the play structure, the wind installation, the sound tract as well the registration tract exists.

Such instruments have been built as unique pieces for many centuries. in the Normally, each work is made as a one-off or one-off, often according to the special wishes of the client.

From US 1,645,608 a pipe organ with register windshield is known, in which the organ pipes are arranged in register on the holders, which in turn are on the wind shutter. Accordingly, with this Pipe organ only complete registers can be exchanged, for example each because there are 56 pipes.

Reference is also made to DE-PS 529 921, where metal register cells for Or gels and similar instruments are described. For register wind chests unlike sound box wind chests, the pipes are not based on sound, but copied to registers. A registry office therefore contains all the pipes of a register, which are on a common wind shutter. The Metallre Gister cells according to DE 529 921 are made up of sections of the same length posed.

The invention has for its object to provide a simple organ to admit.

To solve this problem, a pipe organ with a plurality of Provided tonkanzellen wind chest, each Tonkanzelle from several audio comb sections can be assembled modularly or together is set.  

Further advantageous embodiments result from the subclaims.

With the pipe organ according to the invention, certain parts of an organ can be produced in series and later combined to form a complete work. The organ brochure, the front with the pipes, can, for. B. with the same external dimensions have different design variants and be assigned to a special model as a separate item. Depending on the depth of the organ, the lateral organ housing is assembled from individual segments; This means that the housing can also be expanded when the wind chests are expanded. The warehouse, where the wind turbines rest, can be expanded in the same way as the housing. With these organ types, the pipe work can continue to take into account the room acoustics as an individual component. The essence of the invention relates to the wind chest. The wind chest is the part of an organ where the pipes are on it. The organist's information arrives there and is forwarded to the pipes. In organ building, a distinction is essentially made between sound box wind chests (drawing 1 and 2) and register box wind chests. The invention relates to the Tonkanzellen wind shutter organ. This works in such a way that normally a valve ( 6 ) is responsible for a button; ie when the organist presses a button, a valve ( 6 ), which is actuated via the pull-off wire ( 8 ) by the keyboard on the play system, is opened, which is assigned to the corresponding sound box ( 1 ). A clay chamber ( 1 ) is a wind chamber which is filled with wind by opening the valve ( 6 ). The side walls of the clay chambers ( 1 ) are referred to as arbitration. As a result, a wind chest usually has as many tone boxes ( 1 ) or just called boxes as keys (tones) have the associated keyboard. The pipe work ( 9 ) is now arranged one behind the other across the chambers ( 1 ). If registers are switched on, this means that there are direct connections between the hole pattern on the top of the wind shutter ( 14 ) and the hole pattern on the pipe sticks ( 3 ) and that the hole pattern matches. The wind in the chamber ( 1 ) now flows through the top of the wind shutter ( 14 ), the loop ( 2 ) through the pipe boring ( 5 ) to the pipes. A register is a row of pipes, e.g. B. of C-g ''', which corresponds to 56 keys, tones or register boxes, of pipes of the same type. Serve as register activation. B. loops ( 2 ), which in turn have the same hole pattern as the wind chest top ( 14 ) and the pipe sticks ( 2 ), which are also arranged transversely to the chambers ( 1 ) on the wind chest top ( 14 ) and the pipe sticks ( 2 ) and moved to switch the register on and off. So that the loop ( 2 ) can be moved at all, the pipe sticks ( 3 ) are attached to dams ( 4 ). The dam ( 4 ) is slightly thicker than the loop ( 2 ). So-called loop seals are attached to the top of the wind shutter ( 14 ) and the bottom of the pipe ( 3 ), the exact description of which is omitted here. If all three hole patterns overlap, the register is switched on and so the wind is distributed over the chimney ( 1 ) to the pipes above it from different registers of the same tone. That is, if the wind chest has five registers and all of them are switched on, sound if the organ player z. B. a 'presses all five a' of the different five registers.

In the conventional manufacture of the wind chest (drawing 1), the state of the art, one has to decide before and when building the organ which and how many registers the organ should contain. In this case, the chests ( 1 ) of the wind chests are made continuously from one piece and glued to the top of the wind chests ( 14 ) and the part where the valves are arranged. Then all the individual components of the organ are planned, manufactured and assembled. A subsequent expansion of the organ or the wind chest by additional registers is therefore normally not possible. As already mentioned, the invention is based on the object that an organ can also be changed subsequently. This change mainly relates to the wind chest, the bearing structure and the housing. The invention provides that individual comb sections ( 10 ) on which the pipes stand are created. The wind chest therefore essentially consists of the wind box and individual comb sections ( 10 ), which can be assembled individually depending on the type of register. The individual comb sections ( 10 ) can be arranged in front of or behind the wind box ( 7 ). The width dimension, dimension between z. B. sealant ( 12 ) and sealant ( 13 ), individual comb sections depends on the diameters or areas of the pipes standing thereon. In drawing no. 2, the individual comb sections ( 10 ) to the left and right of the wind box ( 7 ) are shown apart. Drawing 1 shows the conventional design of a wind chest, also in section. An expansion, exchange or reduction of individual comb sections ( 10 ) is not possible here.

If a customer buys an organ, he can first B. order only three registers. The instrument is therefore playable. If he would like to have further registers afterwards, he will reorder them. When installing the new register or register, a canopy cover plate ( 11 ) is now removed, the new register or registers are inserted in between and the canopy cover plate is reattached to the last register or comb section ( 10 ). The combs ( 1 ) are thus extended by the attached comb sections ( 10 ). The amount of wind, the dimensions of the comb, etc. are designed beforehand to be sufficient. An exchange of individual registers is also possible afterwards. Depending on the financial situation, the invention gives the customer the opportunity to start with a small organ and to expand the instrument depending on the financial situation. The comb sections ( 10 ) are preferably made of wood on CNC machines. The way of working enables a very good repeatability of the individual comb milling, etc. Between the comb sections ( 10 ) a seal ( 13 ) with a corresponding hole pattern can be installed. In order to achieve a very good accuracy when joining the individual comb sections ( 10 ), adjustment bolts etc. can be attached. Since the individual comb sections as already mentioned, e.g. B. made of wood, the fasteners can be made of metal, in the form of special fasteners. This would ensure sufficient tightness and any addition or removal of individual comb sections ( 10 ) would be virtually wear-free. If the combs were only connected with normal wood screws, wear and tear could occur if individual comb sections ( 10 ) were loosened and joined together frequently.
